Writes u Significant Letter. NJ

NEw Yonx, Aug. "a Buffalo spccia
to the Times says: Recently tho Erpress
OF this city, printed some "Reminiscences o.
Hon. A. N. Cole, who clnimB TO have beer
the father OF the Republican party, and
who for thirty years has been on more o,
less intimate terms with the great leaders
In these articles there hsa been much con
corning these leaders and 1t appears thai
these papers containing the articles were
forwarded to Hon. John Sherman. The
latter found time to write the following
decidedly pertinent letter: 49,
"AEr. Cole:
~ have read with deep interest
what 10 sald in the issue Of July 10,
In reference 10 Mr.. Blsine's opinion OF
myself. II Is quite true, az Mr.. Blaine
says, that he, and / have always been on
intimate terms, and have always had the
highest regard for each other. We were
both presented as candidatea In 1880, but
then some OF Mr.. Blaine's frionds in Ohio
made the fatal mistake Of dividing the
Ohio delegation and refused to vote for
me, but voted for Mr.. Blaine. This not
only defeated me but prevented the con-
centration OF the Ohio delegation In
favor OF Mr.. Blaine on the night before
the laet day Of the convention, when he
said he hoped the delegation would unite
upon me, and II 30 my nomination would
follow OF course. But so much feeling
had been caused by divisions that 1t
was found impossible, and was
only reconciled by the nomination
OF General Garfield. II may be that the
same division may produce like result
In the approaching canvass. I certainly
have no objection to the nomination Of
Mr.. Blaine, and II he is nominated I will
do whatiI did in 1884 do all / can to BE-.
cure his election. He is mora injured
than benefited by the activity Of bis
friends in making divisions in Republican
States. as Z, y ~ y. F.
By sone it is considered that the special
Significance Of this letter Is the tact that
1t indicates no change whatever in the
fair rivalry and cordial relationship which
have long existed between Sherman aud
Blaine. 4 It isiheld to mean that Sherman
will get the Republican nomination for
President II he can, and ii not he will be
glad to Gee it fall to Blaine, and II the
honor should fall to Sherman 1t may be
taken for granted that the Ohio statesman
will have tho hearty support Of Blaine. Of

Furnished Houses Not In active De-
mand, hut tho Outlook Good.
Now that the elections are over the
politicians will take rest for few
months, and the Members of Congress
will turn their faces towards the Capt.
tOl with q fixed determination that q
long session Is before them and that
there is plenty Of work to engross their
entire attention till adjournment next

The number of houses engaged this
winter by Members and Senators is as
yet exceedingly small A majority
prefer to live at the hotels and private
houses.
The real estate market Is overrun
with furnished houses, but the agents
are not discouraged at the outlook.
A CRTIC reporter this morning
visited nearly all the prominent real
estate agents In the city. Except in
one or two instances Congressman
have not applied for houses. The
agents, however, expreN the opinion
that this season will bekan unusually
brilliant one, and that the dullness now
experienced will give way to tide of
briskness that will send property up to
q handsome figure.
The prominent houses now In the
market will find ready occupants the
latter part OF the mouth.
None OF the hotels have received any
orders fer rooms, but the proprletors say
that they expect to accommodate the same
Representatives and Senators as they
did last teeson. In the meantime Hon.
James o'Donnell OF Michigan has secured
house 1919 N street for the winter.
Hon. William McAd1o Of New Jersey
viii hold forth at No 1920 street.

In HIS own tragic death, the Anarch.

traiion of the power of the death deal

explode the foundations Of the State
and reduce society to chaos. A single
cap of Illuminating powder was enough
10 hurry him mangled and bleeding
outside of the pale of human justice
and Into the presence OF n greater than
human tribunal. There Is something
nten'ely dramatic In his iaking-oiT.
Abandoning all hope Of escape, spurn.
ing all chances of clemency, resolved
not TO die like felon on the gallows,

THE Cleveland Piaiadealer, in &C.
counting for late Democratic reverses
in Ohio, says that "the bringing of
Governor Gordon into the State was,
under the circumstances, a gross piece
OF mlsmanagement and lost the Demo.
crats votes" We hardly think the
responsibility of the defeat can be so
easily shifted upon innocent shoulders.
The "mismanagement' OF Democratic
politics in Ohio dates long way back,
and 1t is not necessary to go to Georgia
10 fine a scapegoat for the accumulated
blunders Of the party at home. Gov
ernor Gordon's speeches were prudent

A MOVEMENT is making In South
Carolina to secure pensions for Con.
federate veterans who are disabled or
In need, and committee of three of
the old soldiers has been appointed In
each county to urge upon the incoming
Legislature an appropriation for this
purpose. 1t will be hard. hearted
and unpatriotlc legislature that eau re.
sIst the opportunities of crippled,
battle.scarred lobby like this. The
movement is good one; and all the
Southern States should follow South
Carolina's example. Not that the men
who fought for the Lost Cause"
should be rewarded on that particular
account, but they should certainly re.
ceive some aid In their declining years
for the sacrifices they endured In cause
that they were compelled to support
and for the heroic valor with which
they upheld the flag of the Southern
Confederacy throughout long and
weary struggle. They represented the
martial virtues aud the patriotic in
stincts of our common American mau-
hood, and on that account, If no other,
deserve the appreciative sympathy Of
their fellow citizsns. The South should
do for itself what the General Govern.
mont has so generously done for the
soldiers of the Union.
